You're right I would have taken him though I'm a bit worried about where they'll play him, he certianly won't play at the position he was signed at, shortstop, he's not gonna supplant Wright at 3b, they've already got a poor defense/decent bat guy in Murphy and 1b has a log jam of guys with Davis, Duda, and Satin. So lets look outfield, Young should probably be a 4th OF, but there is no denying the spark he added once he was aquired and inserted into the lead-off spot and they don't have another leadoff type hitter any where in the organization, for CF they have either den Dekker or Lagares who both play outstanding defensive CF, (in fact I'm counting on Legares being a 1 next year) and Legares' arm is so good he can play RF if need be, though he still needs to work on his offense. All that said i don't think Flores is fleet of foot enough for the OF anyway, so where the heck is he gonna play???
